A narrow tube is bent in the form of a circle of radius $R,$ as shown in the figure. Two small holes $S$ and $D$ are made in the tube at the positions right angle to each other. A source placed at $S$ generated a wave of intensity $I_0$ which is equally divided into two parts : One part travels along the longer path, while the other travels along the shorter path. Both the part waves meet at the point $D$ where a detector is placed  The maximum value of $\lambda$ to produce a maxima at $D$ is given by

Free $^{238}U$ nuclei kept in a train emit alpha particles. When the train is stationary and a uranium nucleus decays, a passenger measures that the separation between the alpha particles and the recoiling nucleus becomes $x,$ in t time after the decay. If a decay takes places, when the train is moving at a uniform speed $v$, the distance between the alpha particle and the recoiling nucleus at a time $t$ after the decay, as measured by the passenger will be:
